9 Lab rat got the cheese (1/2)
When Dan came down to the first floor, he noticed that the selection room was empty. He opened up the clan status and looked at the results.
John Assassin, Nick the scout. It was understandable and expected. The guys picked two classes that would give the clan twice the skills and benefits for development.
And then Dan was pretty surprised. Leo became a knight. He turned out to be a romantic. Or a very cunning man, which was totally out of line with his friendliness. He became the only Knight in the clan. His skills will surely help.
Tom chose the Warrior's way, but his brother was surprised. Ron became the Spiritual Master. Only Gandalf remained undistributed.
Dan went out into the courtyard and saw John and Nick going hunting with Gandalf. He asked them not to touch things they didn't know or understand if they got their hands on.
The guys got in, and Gandalf started dreaming of finding a powerful artifact.
Dan didn't understand him, to be honest. Is he fooling around, or does he have a childish view of the world? It's like a witch with her torture had to shake his inner peace. Or is that such a protective reaction? The guy was playing a game, and he treated life like a game. An unclear person.
The dexterous guys went hunting. John said there's a wolf's den nearby.
Dan started doing some exercise. Leo picked on him and told him what had pushed Ron to become a spirit doctor.
The need to kill seriously injured friends turned out to be a big hit for him. And to make sure it didn't happen again, Ron took on a spiritual that had been healed.
The healing was weak. It only raised life by a hundred hp, but in the lack of potions, such help was needed. Using a skill cost 30 mana, but with skill development, the number of hp restored increased.
It is a strange moment, the way of the spirit, and intelligence is still necessary.
Dan listened and did the exercises, and he did it! The game congratulated him and added +1 to life and +1 to strength. That's the increase that he's done a lot of work today.
Dan tried again to think about what happened to him in this world.
He's only been here for four days, and it seems like it's been a couple of weeks. The world was dragging on, Dan was attracted to the fact that the world was hiding big secrets.
Surprisingly and quite strangely, there were no players among the people, those who in that life was sick with games. By what standards were they selected?
Dan was worried about the general behavior of the people in the group.
Memories were revived by passages of the most shining moments of the past. Everyone but him had families there. But not hysterical, isolated behavior, Dan wasn't observing. And on the subject of past life, the guys are trying to talk less. Why is that? Or maybe it's just been too little time. There was also an interesting fact. Everyone knew their names, but no one could remember their family name.
Questions, questions, and no answers. This kind of situation freaked Dan out.
A noise was heard at the gate, and a heavily forested wagon entered the castle courtyard, followed by another one. The carpenters came to work on the furniture for the castle.
Dan went up to Michael and told him about an unpleasant discovery.
They went to the castle. The leader had identification scrolls!
When they went into the office, Dan went straight to the desk and moved it aside. The table was heavy. He looked at the floor and noticed that one stove on the floor stood out slightly. He quickly found the second stove as well.
Dan stood up on the stove and rattled against the wall, opening the door to the secret room.
\”Go, soldier, look,\” said Dan.
Michael took his time, he looked closely at the passage.
\”Wait for a minute, Inquisitor, this case is serious.\”
Michael shook his head and there was a scroll in his hand. Then, he stepped inside the hiding place and got away with it. There was a sound as if Michael was snapping... with his fingers. Then he scolded softly... Then, the clicks were heard again. He activated the scrolls, one by one, and then the soldier scolded again and started activating the scrolls again.
About two minutes later, he came out of the stash with a confused face.
Dan asked with great interest in the results of his attempts:
\”Did it work?\”
\”I was able to identify the sword and the book. The shard was still unidentifiable.\”
\”And what do they write?\”
\”Come and see for yourself. With your skills, you can see more valuable information.\”
It took them a little time to change the legs on the slabs. Switched places and Dan took a careful step into the stash.

Dan turned his attention to the shard.

Nothing is clear! The filthy stone has an even higher level than the sword if his scrolls couldn't identify him.

Goddamn it, what do we do? And is it his imagination, or is the phrase wrongly constructed?
\”No,\” Dan said it clearly.
